Voters’ Responsibility

| warned the whites of the intense

_ can opinion with his royal commission

Words, words, words! There has |

been a spate of them in this election campaign, on the air and in the pages of every newspaper in the country. They will come to an abrupt period this weekend, leaving a blissful Sun- day calm before the voters go to the polls on Monday to cast their ballots. Many voters, it is said, are not only apathetic about the issues at stake but resentful at having an election brought on at this time. They are confused by the conflicting campaign statements: and are tempted to re- frain from voting altogether. That at least. would show their disapproval of this chore being foisted upon them, wouldn’t it?

In a way, of course, it would. But it would also put an undue premium on the merely partisan votes—the votes of the busy beavers who have special interests in the campaign, and who will not fail to cast their. ballots in any case. The history of other states has shown that’ where the fran- chise is not exercised bythe solid

body of the electorate, the national |

interests go by default.

As pointed out on many occasions, the free vote is a hard-won privilege, and we just can’t preserve it without scrupulously using it. We are remind- ed, too, that citizens in totalitarian lands do not escape from the job of voting. They merely lose the oppor- tunity of registering a choice. That is what differentiates us in a democ- racy. Ours is not an easy system, of course; it imposes burdens. It works only if the voters do. ;

There are those who bemoan the lack of great issues in this campaign. But there is at least one such issue which the voters must decide, as they have had to decide at every election. It concerns the competence of those who are running the administration. It is not the “need for a majority”’;as has been said ad nauseam by Mr. Pearson and his followers. It is the need for determining whether the administration is worthy of being re- turned on any terms.

That is why, in this. campaign, the examination of its blunders has been so important, and why the electors should view with grave misgivings the efforts—all too evident on the part of government spokesmen—to distract attention from this issue or to treat it as of no consequence.

Time Running Out:

It was stated on his return to London that by warning both black and white Rhodesians of the dire con- sequences of-no compromise, Prime Minister Wilson bought precious time for the resolution of Rhodesia’s fu- ture. But the time seems to have run out. The Rhodesian government has declared a state of emergency in the county, which it claims to have taken against a threat of sabotage. But the government has a highly efficient police force and army able to cope with such threats, and there is belief in London that the chief purpose of the strategy is to unite the whole population behind the Smith regime.

_ The time-buying proposal agreed on at Salisbury was that a royal com- mission be set up which would deter- mine the terms of a revised- formula setting forth how Rhodesia would pro- ceed toward independence, also whether these terms were acceptable to all the Rhodesian pople. This would mean working out a method by which not only the 250,000 whites who gov- ern the country would express their views, but also a method of ascertain- ing the wishes of the 3,800,000 Afri- cans who now have almost no voice in the government. _

The new proposals would have to lead eventually to majority rule in Rhodesia, meaning African rule. But presumably this would follow only

worldwide hostility which a sudden seizure of independence would pro- duce.

Mr. Wilson failed to mollify Afri-

proposal. Native leaders called it a time-wasting and useless compromise, and President Nkrumah of Ghana termed it a “betrayal”. The white minority government was dissatis- fied with it on other grounds.

Failure to find a solution has prompted the British Parliament to delay its schedule recess for this. weekend at least. It is a critical time for all concerned.

Hard On The Cediors

From Toronto comes word that Hon. Robert Winters, former mem- ber of the St. Laurent government and now a Liberal candidate in York « West for Monday’s federal election, has declared that he is opposed to the federal sales tax on materials. His reason? Because it is an economic measure “that is discriminatory and retrogressive.”

This is what the Opposition has been telling the Pearson government all along. This is what Finance Min- ister Gordon stubbornly refuses to concede. The tax was imposed at his insistence, reportedly against the better judgment of many of his cab- inet colleagues. Now that Mr. Pearson has stated that Mr. Gordon will con- tinue to hold the key portfolio of fin- ance if his government is re-elected, there is no likelihood of it being lift- ed in such circumstances.

Recently we referred to a report that Mr. Winters had been double- crossed by the Liberal hierarchy in persuading him to enter this cam- paign in return for an important cabinet post. This portfolio was. be- lieved to have been that of finance. In any case, it is obvious now that he is at odds with Mr. Gordon’s policy. The building tax, he told a meeting of party workers this week, “weakens Canada’s economic. position abroad and serves to divert Canadian funds from domestic investment.” Yet he’ must, of necessity, be involved in this retrogressive measure in run- ning as an official Liberal candidate. Just how the electors will take it we don’t know; but from this distance it looks as if they to are in for a double- cross themselves if they don’t watch out.

China Mortified

The Afro-Asian conference has opened this week in Algiers, much to the chagrin of Communist China which failed in its bid to have the Soviet Union excluded from the con- ference and to keep the Communist leadership of the organization in its own hands. China’s ambition was to appear there as a nuclear power, defy- ing both Russia and the United States, cowing democratic India, and preaching revolutions in Africa, Asia and Latin America.

At Bandung ten years ago, Premier Chou En-lai charmed the Asians and Africans with talk of Chinese Com- munists leadership along these lines. But the Algiers conference meets in _a different spirit. China jumped the gun in Indonesia and failed, while in Africa her revolutionary doctrines scared the African leadefs, who knew only too wéll that they would be the first victims of any Chinese-led revo- lution. Of all the African states, Tan- zania alone voted in the steering com- mittee for China’s move to postpone the current gathering.

What it will do remains to be seen.

the mood for more of Peking’s preachings of hatred.

Mr. Pearson apparently sees no ‘contradiction in ‘asking for a strong government while he keeps his cabinet ministers who have been weaklings in administration. As the Ottawa Journal points out in this con- nection, the majority he appears to claim as a divine right would not make Walter Gordon a James Ilsley with a capacity for leadership in fin- ancial affairs.

Before this “unnecessary el-

vivid remarks made by ‘promin- ent campaigners deserve to be remembered.

New Democrat leader Tommy Douglas has a knack of coining pithy verbal darts. On one oc- cassion, criticising the ack of decisive leadership from Ottawa over the past thirty years. he declared: “Mackenzie King taught us that a man can be- come prime minister for life: John Diefenbaker taught us that anyone can become prime minister; and Lester Pearson taught us that we can get along without a prime minister.”

Tommy Douglas it was. too who produced the quip debunk- ing the Liberals chief election platform: ‘They ask for a sta- ble government, but they never told us how that stable would smell.’

DIEF GETS LAUGHS i

While Mr. Pearson was con- ducting his campaign-by-press -release from his Parliament Hill office, Mr. Diefenbaker challenged him to “come on out from behind those Ottawa mimeograph machines, and face the people.” He repeatedly got some of his best laughs for his witty but truthladen quips about the Seven Scandals of the Pearson Government: Referr- ing to the hockey rinks which Mr. P. was proomising arou Canada , Dief quipped: ‘Who

that Rivard is in jail?”

In a deserved tribute to his leader who has survived more potential shipwrecks than any other . Canadian politician, Sen- etor Joe Sullivan said-that-“‘the assassins who had been carv- ing up Dief’s character had nevertheless entirely failed to cut out his three ‘sterling qual- ities: honesty, integrity and just plain guts.”

Then there was that amazing sequence of pronouncements by Mr. Pearson. Announcing the election date on TV and radio on September 7, he said: ‘‘the earliest date at which an elec- tion could take place on the new electoral boundaries would be the end of October 1966..a more realistic date would be early in 1967.” But discussing what he Vancouver two weeks earlier. Mr. Pearson had deprecated the idea of an election in 1967, Centennial Year. (Why? Canae- da had an election in 1867.)
